Guillermo del Toro Might Next Tackle Haunted House Movie (Different Than Prior Haunted House Movie He Was Doing)

The ever-growing list of things Guillermo del Toro is, was, or may at some point be doing has expanded again.

According to Deadline, the frequently-committed director is now committed to directing something called Crimson Peak, and will supposedly make that his next film, shooting it right after doing the Pacific Rim press tour and FX's The Strain pilot.

Despite the "A New Thriller from Tom Clancy"-ness of the title, the film sounds like it fits snugly in the eye-socket of del Toro's palm, with the director describing it as "a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story." Something of an antithesis to the small, cheap, found-footage horror films that have come to dominate the market, Crimson Peak will, according to del Toro, be big and actually interesting to look at, following in the tradition of so-called "grand dames" of the genre like The Innocents, The Shining, and The Haunting (the original, not the one with Owen Wilson).
